Daniel - Summary and Q&A

This session served as a review of our study in Daniel and also offered some time for Q&A on topics related to the book.

** A helpful look at many topics regarding the topic of The Millennium in eschatology (the study of end times or "last things") can be found in a comprehensive collection of articles at Bible.org

** One question in class brought up the topic of the Judgment Seat of Christ (aka, "The Bema Seat"). This article, also from Bible.org, gives more detail.

** Purgatory came up. The Bible does not teach this concept at all. It is a Catholic teaching that evangelical Christians would identify as false. As stated at Catholic.com:

"The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines purgatory as a "purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven," which is experienced by those "who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified" (CCC 1030). It notes that "this final purification of the elect . . . is entirely different from the punishment of the damned" (CCC 1031). The purification is necessary because, as Scripture teaches, nothing unclean will enter the presence of God in heaven...".

This view is false for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the implication that Jesus death on the cross was inadequate to make us righteous.

Articles with more information can be found here (from Bible.org) and here (from Equip.org).
